20 split chicken wings
2 Tablespoons butter melted (use Dairy Free butter alternative to make this recipe Dairy Free)
2 Tablespoons hot sauce
1 small clove garlic minced
½ teaspoon salt

Bring a pot of water with a steamer on top to boil. Put the wings in steamer and steam for 10-15 minutes. (You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your steamer).
Line a baking pan with paper towels and place a wire rack on top. Set the steamed wings on the rack and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Heat oven to 425°F. Remove paper towels from the baking tray. Bake the chicken wings on the wire rack over the baking sheet for 20 minutes. Flip the wings, bake until skin is crispy and golden brown, 15-20 more minutes.
Whisk melted butter, 2 Tablespoons hot sauce, minced garlic, and ½ teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add chicken wings to the bowl and toss until coated.

You could use any sauce you like instead of the hot sauce.
